The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Music from the Motion Pictures Arranged for Solo Piano Paperback – November 1, 2009

If you love LOTR music, this is the book for you.The music is between intermediate and advanced, so it's difficult but not overwhelming.However, Anirion, Aragorn and Arwen's beautiful theme should have been included, and the book is difficult to keep open.There's a lot of good stuff I didn't expect, including the haunting Lament for Gandalf.Buy it and learn the words to the songs and sing along with your piano playing! It's a must for all LOTR lovers.

My son asked for this for Christmas. He was so excited because the other book similar to this one that he already owns didn’t contain all of the songs this one has.

I've been having lots of fun with this book. It's fun to sight-read these and recognize the themes from the music. The skill-level is intermediate, which is exactly the level at which I play.

This book has a great variety of songs from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I purchased it for my niece who plays the piano and loves these movies. She couldn't wait to jump in and start playing the songs. It was one of her top two gifts from Christmas. Highly suggest it for anyone who has an intermediate level of piano proficiency.

I have been wanting to get my hands on this music for a while now, and this is the best book available. Although I would have liked the book to be more complete (there are several notable omissions from the full score), what the book does include is extraordinary.It is essentially all of the previous three volumes of the LOTR solo piano books stuffed in to one epic book plus the added arrangements of "Concerning Hobbits" and "The Black Rider". The arrangement for "Aniron (Theme for Aragorn and Arwen)" by Enya is not included.Songs Included Are:from The Fellowship of the Ring:THE PROPHECYCONCERNING HOBBITSTHE BLACK RIDERMANY MEETINGSIN DREAMSMAY IT BEfrom The Two Towers:ROHANEVENSTARFORTH EORLINGASISENGARD UNLEASHEDGOLLUM'S SONGfrom The Return of the King:MINAS TIRITHTHE STEWARD OF GONDOR (Including "THE EDGE OF NIGHT")TWILIGHT AND SHADOWTHE END OF ALL THINGSTHE RETURN OF THE KINGINTO THE WESTThe arrangements are good and true to the originals and are intended for intermediate to advanced pianists. Of the songs included, they are complete and unabridged-- direct copies of the originals. Although it does not specify in the product description, a little less than half of the songs have chords notated above the melody line. The book itself is very nice and it stuffed with brilliant full color photos from all three films. I would have liked the book to include more songs from the films, but until a more complete edition is released (if ever), this book does satisfy. I highly recommend this book to fellow pianists who are fans of the LOTR Trilogy Music.

The music is very good and fairly easy to play if you're an average player. Lots of favorite pieces in here that anyone would recognize.

Perfect gift for the musician in your family.

Great sheet music! There is a mix of lyrics, chords, piano, and others so you can play the guitar, sing, or play the piano, to the songs. Really enjoy it! Great quality. Not disappointed.
